Abstract
Abstract (1 − x)Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3–x(Na0.53K0.44Li0.04)(Nb0.88Sb0.08Ta0.04)O3 (BNT–xNKLNST) with x = 0–0.10 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics were prepared by a solid state method, and the structure and electrical properties were investigated in this study. It is found that a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) of rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) phase exists in the range of 0.03 ≤ x ≤ 0.05 and the structure changes to paraelectric phase when x > 0.07. The samples with x = 0.05 exhibit improved electrical properties owing to the formation of MPB, which are as follows: piezoelectric constant d33 = 120 pC/N, remnant polarization Pr = 39.4 μC/cm2 and coercive field Ec = 3.6 kV/mm. These results indicate that the enhanced piezoelectric properties for BNT can be achieved by forming the coexistence of R and T phase.
